Sorry, my apologies to you proud dad. I check my notes and I'm not sure how I made this mistake. A good photo isn't any good if we identify the people in the shot wrong. I have fixed the name in the post.

Judging any photo contest is purely subjective; one of my criteria on the orange contest was to look for the shots that didn’t play up the obvious, like pumpkins, leaves and flowers. I was looking for the shots that made me stop and take a second look. I try very hard to resist always picking shots that would reflect my personal style and try to give you a variety of shots to vote for. In the 33 years I've worked as a photojournalist, I’ve looked at and have “judged” most of the photos you see here on the web site and in The Express-Times every day.

Having seen this flooding happening in Bethlehem and having been down there this morning, I don’t think the dam is the problem as much as the walk bridge just a bit down from the dam. Check out the gallery of photos I shot this morning. http://photos.lehighvalleylive.com/express-times/2011/09/flooding_sept_28_and_29_18.html

Check out the other shots in the gallery.... I worked my way around the building looking at other views of the situation too, and as you say, not to get argumentative here, but it is hard to move the sun so I could see that side of the building.

LOL...Thanks for your post. The imagery you refer to was purely unintentional. Sorry, but I didn't see it in those terms when I was shooting on the run. It's kind of hard not to get any sort of strange angle on a building with the wide angle lens. The 14mm lens will make most everything tilt a a weird way, plus I had to get up close because the sun was directly behind the building.

I like to use coupons and watch for sales on can good so I can stock up for both the Boy Scouts and mail carriers food drives. A few extra bucks a week on my food bill that will help a lot of hunger folks is worth it. Those cereal and the soup coupons were you have to buy 4 or 5 to get discount or one free is a good deal to stretch those food dollars out.

Gee what a waste of time watching that video, thanks Dustin... I can sing better than that....and I'm tone deaf... and can still tell she sings flat. What ever happened to the good female singers like Carly Simons, Aretha Franklin..Diana Ross.. ???? you youngsters don't know music..

I watch the dog for about 15 minutes, I too wonder whether this would constitute animal cruelty. My dogs would never have put up with it, but this dog made no move to even try to get out of the swing.

I've had dogs for almost all of my life. Except for a year or so when I was in an apartment that didn't allow dogs. I got my first dog when I was 8, but the family had a dog even before that.

I've shown one of my dogs, have done obedience training, agility training and click training with others of my dogs. I've always found that I could only get my dogs to do only what they truly wanted to do even out of love or food.

Socrates seem to me to be perfectly content to sit and swing. There are a lots of dog that do a lot of amazing things, I'm sure others know dogs with special tricks or habits.

She was heading the other way from Route 22 towards Route 57. Coming from that way there is a curve and a short downhill stretch in which it would be difficult to recognize the hazard and to bring that much momentum to a stop. On the other hand there are multiple warning signs coming from that direction. I would suggest that she was blindly following a GPS unit that gave her the shortest route but doesn’t recognize the height of her rig.

Yep, that is a reflection you see. I took the picture since I tagged along as part of the impromptu committee of co-workers that when to verify the existence of this “tasty treat” and to convince Joe to test it.

Being a mid-west girl, I really don’t understand all this hoop-la-la over cheesesteaks. After I arrived in the valley years ago I decided to try out this local delicacy. But after a bout of food poisoning from one, I have mostly avoided eating any of them since. That is except for the blue cheesesteaks from Chrissy’s. Give me a Michigan style pickled ring baloney any day.

I tune in just at the end of half time to see the score and watch the half time show. It was so BAD that I walked away, but I could still hear it, Ouch… The only part that sounded any good was the start of the song that Fergie did a solo to “Had the Time of my Life”. I almost walked back to see what was happening but it went really bad really fast after that and I tuned it out.

Ever try to follow one of those cars that the driver can’t manage to clean off their brake lights? I’ve seen way to many drivers peering through tiny holes carved out of snow on their front windows trying see where they are going while leaving side windows, back windows and their brake lights covered.

Let’s remember that we all share the roads, let’s make it safe out there for the other guy. Consider it your random act of kindness.
